Congratulations on purchasing the P6VXM2T mainboard. The
P6VXM2T mainboard is a Micro ATX mainboard that uses a
4-layer printed circuit board and measures 244 mm x 220 mm.
The mainboard features a Socket 370 that accommodates
FC-PGA Celeron Pentium III and C3 processors that support
frontside bus (FSB) speeds up to 133 MHz.
The P6VXM2T uses the VIA family chipset and features the
AC 97 audio codec. The mainboard delivers high-level perform-
ance with a 4xAGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot and five PCI
Bus, Master Ultra DMA (UDMA) ports that support up to four
ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface) devices. The PCI IDE
also supports PIO Mode 3 and 4, UDMA33/66/100 IDE and an
ATAPI CD-ROM.
The mainboard accommodates PC 100/133 SDRAM (Syn-
chronous DRAM) up to 1 GB using two 3.3V unbuffered DIMM
modules. The P6VXM2T also has a full set of I/O ports, such
as dual channel IDE interfaces, a floppy controller, two FIFO
serial port connectors, an EPP/ECP-capable bi-directional
parallel port connector, a dual USB (Universal Serial Bus)
connector, and PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors.
One AGP slot, three 32-bit PCI local bus slots, one Communi-
cations Network Riser (CNR) slot and an optional one 8/16-bit
ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) slot provide expandability
for add-on peripheral cards.
Note:
The mainboard only provides either one CNR slot or
ISA slot.
